Toons 3: My Tryout For Model Designer

When I heard they were gonna revive the Looney Tunes characters, only as babies, I quickly made some samples to show.It turned out they didn't like these very much.Once they started doing some models in house, they showed me and I instantly saw the direction to take.The idea was to make their brains giant size and give them tiny vestigial bodies. OK. Got it.Always eager to please, I changed direction and offered my own big brain versions.Damn, I still didn't get the job!

Wow, I wish they would have went that direction. I remember liking the show at first but after a while I couldn't stomach it. It just wasn't funny in my opinion. I'm not a fan of most character derivatives anyway. Great post, love baby Porky realizing he has gums.

john im curious, doesn't the preston blair book recommend to create cute, baby-ish characters to make the head large in relation to the body? isn't that what they were attempting to do with tiny toons?

when they said they were going 2 make baby looney tunes, i was really excited. turns out it wasn't that great, and was geared toward 3 year olds, then the general audience. ur drawings would have been perfect for the show! i especially like ur drawing of baby daffy duck. he was my fav looney tunes character.
